Hello everyone! Today starts a new challenge over at The Card Concept challenge blog based on the picture below...
I get stumped sometimes figuring out which "style" of card I've created...is it vintage? Layered? Shabby? Mixed Media? All of the above? I'm not sure! One thing is sure, I was inspired by those gorgeous colours and butterflies! I know you must be asking where is my doily?! I was making this card for some dear friends who lost their young son in law and a doily just wasn't in that plan. Sympathy cards are always tricky but I love to put some kind of quote on them instead of "with sympathy." I feel these quotes are more uplifting and perhaps might add to the healing after a sad loss.
I hope you'll head over to The Card Concept blog to see all the different interpretations from the Design Team then join in the fun! Have a great day!

Maureen, I love your gorgeous card! The Scripture verse is perfect for a sympathy card as well as the pretty butterflies and other details. I am so sorry for your friend's loss and I am sure that they will be comforted by your thoughtfulness. Hugs and I hope you have a wonderful Easter week, sweet friend!
Maureen, I love the pretty spring colors in your card! It is so bright and cheerful!
Take Care!
Michele
I'm with you on the "getting stumped" trying to decide the style. I love your card and I think you have Shabby Chic down to an art form here. Beautiful!
